"The first half wasn't good. We could blame the pitch and that we couldn't see anything in the sunshine. But we shouldn't as we were really sloppy and off the pace."

Benitez, who has come under increasing pressure from Chelsea supporters of late, has the full support of Cahill and the rest of the squad.

Benitez's cause wasn't helped last night by Chelsea throwing a two-goal lead away at relegation threatened Reading, with Adam Le Fondre scoring in the 95th minute to earn a share of the spoils.

And whilst Cahill admits that Benitez is under pressure, the 27-year-old defender tried to draw positives from Chelsea's 2-2 with the Bees on Sunday.

"He's under a lot of pressure from the fans, but we have grated out a result in horrible conditions."
